What if your local LGBTIA/Queer community started its own library? In the past few years, several volunteers at QueerIST have experienced how hard it is to find and access works written by and for queer people. We decided to take matters into our own hands and embraced the ambitious endeavor of starting our own community library. This is the sum of knowledge from what we, as volunteer amateur librarians, learned from this experience. We hope it can help other community libraries who would like to replicate our success and that it can also be insightful for professional librarians on queer people's needs in their libraries.

Winner of the 2018 Outstanding Book by the Michigan Council Teachers of English Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2018 Winner of the 2017 AERA Division K (Teaching and Teacher Education) Exemplary Research Award This book draws upon a queer literacy framework to map out examples for teaching literacy across pre-K-12 schooling. To date, there are no comprehensive Pre-K-12 texts for literacy teacher educators and theorists to use to show successful models of how practicing classroom teachers affirm differential (a)gender bodied realities across curriculum and schooling practices. This book aims to highlight how these enactments can be made readily conscious to teachers as a reminder that gender normativity has established violent and unstable social and educational climates for the millennial generation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, (a)gender/(a)sexual, gender creative, and questioning youth.

The catalogs of 19 large urban public lending library systems (10 American and 9 Canadian) were examined to determine the extent of their holdings of 222 gay-related titles. The populations of the libraries' service areas ranged from about 100,000 to three million. The title lists comprised classic and contemporary works taken from standard lists of fiction and nonfiction and works recently awarded or considered as finalists for major prizes. Data were tabulated by title, giving the number of copies of each title for each library system. The results were then further analyzed. A broad range was exhibited across the library systems in the percentages of surveyed titles held and in numbers of copies of titles per capita. Among titles from the four sources used, there were lower mean percentages of titles held for Lambda Literary Awards list titles and American Library Association Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Awards titles than for "Fiction Catalog" and "Public Library Catalog" titles. In general, the Canadian libraries in this survey carried fewer titles and fewer copies per capita than the American ones. The Toronto analysis showed large collection differences among the former library systems now combined into the new Toronto Public Library. (Author/AEF)
